Happy Face 29 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I saw the first one the weekend it came out, without any hype. I came out of the cinema thinking "Meh, just a nerds wet dream!". Nice bit of action at the end, but I'm not even sure if The Matrix was the first place 'bullet time' and that were used. I couldn't swear to it but i thought they got it from out East.

Happy Face 29 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The Big Lebowski. Supposed to be great, but I still haven't figured out why. Bombadil, I love you, but sooner or later, you're going to have to realize the fact that you're a god damn moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not John Woo? Not sure. I seem to remember Yuen Woo Ping was brought in for the Matrix because he'd done the old camera around someone in mid-kick trick in one of his films. I thought it might have been Iron Monkey, but I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to the extent it was used in The Matrix but the former is a canny bit older (5 years at least) iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I was going off what they said in the "Making Of" bits on the DVD. Either way, I still think the Matrix gets a bum deal because of it's younger brothers by many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) Tarantino is erasing violence. A lot of people say it's highly stylised, but actually it's erased. The moment is not rendered. 'The money' needed someone to take Spike Lee out of the loop at the time - back in the day....The rest is history...Black became white and everything returned to normale...Illusionare...
